A new thread on the blue chip and still rants about the price. I don't know about you guys but if I go to a really good steak restaurant it's going to cost me $30 to $45 for a really good prime cut...

I have met Chris twice, once while wandering around Winterhawk in the mid-90's before Nickel Creek really blew up and once backstage between sets with David Grier at a show in Charlottesville, VA in...

Dan, OFM4UP at Moongazer. I spoke with Tom at Moongazer before I ordered, it looks like he's now clarified it on the bridge page.

To respond directly to the question. No, I'm not retiring or quitting. That rumor was probably in reference to my bass playing career (but now the Gray Sky Boys want to crank it up again and buy a...

I am pleased to report that Hamilton de Holanda will be appearing 9/11/12 at the Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River, MA. www.ncfta.org. This is his first appearance in the US in 4 or so years,...
